Apple Cinnamon Hot Toddy

Almost all week last week, I was home sick with bronchitis – welcome to fall! So, while I was laid up in bed, I caught up on some of my blog reading. I was starting to get tired of drinking only hot tea and ginger ale, and a sweet hot toddy recipe from A Beautiful Mess caught my eye. I had to try it.

The last time I tried to make a hot toddy, I don’t know what I did, but it ended up tasting like gasoline. I’m sure it was cheap whiskey or something, because, this time, it tasted so divine!

Since it was kind of cool out last night, I was more in the mood for an apple cinnamon-flavored hot toddy. It soothed my throat and helped me chill out.
